I'll let you know soon. I finally got my tire mounted to the rim. I applied a double-wrap of tape. Who knew bicycle wheels were Fermions? That in turn (get it?) required soapy water to get the tire to seat, even with the compressor, but it has held air without sealant for 3 days now. Eventually, I will add sealant, and stuff individual dog hairs down the valve stem.
